GENIUS 0.7.3 has been released:

Something I've been meaning to do for a long time has been to reduce the default precision that genius will have mpfr use for floats. So far it has been 256 bits which is I suppose way overdoing it. It just slows down calculations. Moving to 128 bits speeds up lots of things especially if you evaluate functions like sin or exp a lot and it's way more then is really needed. Reducing further would not get such a dramatic impact and then why would we be using gmp at all, we could have used `double' and saved a lot of trouble (hey a poem!) :): You can always jack it back up to 256 in the preferences if you really care for so much precision.

v0.1 of Revolution, a Ruby binding to Evolution, has been released.

So now you can write simple little Ruby scripts to mine the data store for information, for example:

=============================
require 'revolution'

r = Revolution::Revolution.new

r.get_all_contacts.each {|c|
puts "First name: #{c.first_name}"
puts "Last name: #{c.last_name}"
puts "Work email: #{c.work_email}" if !c.work_email.nil?
}

last_week = Time.new.to_i-(7*24*60*60)
next_week = Time.new.to_i+(7*24*60*60)
r.get_all_appointments(last_week, next_week).each {|appt|
puts "Summary: #{appt.summary}"
puts "Location: #{appt.location}"
puts "Start time: #{appt.start}"
}

r.get_all_tasks.each {|t|
puts "Task (#{t.uid})"
puts "Summary: #{t.summary}"
puts "Description: #{t.description.slice(0,70)}"
puts "Start date: #{t.start}"
}
=============================

If you have RubyGems installed, you can install the Gem using "gem install --remote revolution", or you can download a zip file here:
